Personal: How did you meet your spouse, where do your children live, what do they do,etc.

Although I knew who she was since Walker Jr. High, I really did not get to know Bobbi until Ed Moran talked her into taking Science Seminar class our senior year. The class was just 5 or 6 of us (Bobbi the only girl) and we met in the storage room of Mr. Allen's physics classroom. 7 years later I finally talked her into marriage. We have two sons Matt & Micah. Matt graduated from the University of Florida with a Masters and teaches here in Volusia County. His wife Stef is a drug representative and they have two beautiful daughters, Katie who is 8 and Kelly is 6. They live about a mile from us so we get to see the girls quite often. Micah is a Navy reserve Officer and was called to active duty 9 January, 2007. He returned from Baghdad and graduated from UF with a PHD in math. He and Hiroko are now in Atlanta where he is with Georgia Tech Research Institute. They have no children yet but the good news is that Bobbi is no longer the shortest one in the family.

Education: After Manatee High including formal education, work related or specific licenses or certifications.

Freshman year at Florida Presbyterian rooming with John Criswell and graduated from Florida Institute of Technology with a degree in Electrical Engineerin8:25 AM 8/10/2011g. I was President of my fraternity and if you have ever seen Animal House you'll have good understanding what our fraternity was like. Since then I have attended many work related classes as diverse as Statistical Applications taught by the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers and the Program Management Development at Harvard Business School. I am registered Professional Engineer in the state of Florida.

Career: Work/Military Experience including current job.

I was with FPL for 39 years since graduating from FIT in 1971. Although it was the same company, I have had such a varied career that I feel like I worked for a dozen different organizations. From field engineering, construction, customer service, general management, substations & transmission, corporate planning & reporting to finally external affairs. I am now an adjunt instructor at ERAU teaching a senior course in Mechanical Engineering.

Spare time: What are your Hobbies and how do you spend your time outside of work.

Bobbi and I are very involved in our community and I have been Chairman/President of various organizations including, Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce, Boys & Girls Clubs, League of Women Voters, FUTURES Education foundation and currently I am on the boards of WorkForce Development, Civic League and Boys/Girls Clubs. My knees prevent any basketball but Bobbi and I swing dance every week or so and she is still light enough that I can do aerials and throw her around. We both ride motorcycles and I am co-chair of the Bike Week Task Force that manages the largest motorcycle event in the world. We also like to take a long weekend and ride to Savannah or longer trips like Washington D.C. and Canada. For around town I restored the bike I wanted while in High School; a 1960 Harley Super-10.

Other Comments: Anything else you would like your classmates to know about you.

After 40 years of marriage I admit that I am still enamored with Bobbi. We love the small town atmosphere of Ormond Beach yet we are 15 minutes from all the activities in Daytona Beach and an hour from Orlando. We are blessed that our children and 2 grandchildren live so close.
